Guinea pigs have a history of domestication in South America, with evidence suggesting they were first domesticated around 5000 BC by the Andean peoples. Guinea pigs are wonderful animals who can make great companions for a variety of families; they’re gentle, tiny and have amazing personalities. Not to mention every single one of them is as cute as a button! Guinea pigs come in many shapes and colors: if you think choosing a guinea pig is just a matter of deciding between long- or short-haired varieties, think again! Within those two broad categories, there is a wide array of guinea pig varieties – at least 11 types of short-haired guinea pig and at least 10 long-haired. Many of these varieties come in different colors too. What’s more, there are other breeds such as satin or furless ‘skinny pigs’ – although the breeding of these is somewhat controversial due to health concerns.
